Eternity
Ended yesterday
At 3:37 PM
Cause you'd said you'd love me forever;
I guess forever came to an end
Yesterday
At 3:37 PM.
You're like a paradox
In a locked box
So I started throwing rocks
That God can't lift at you.
They didn't hit you.
No, I just hit my friends.
And you hit high ground
Like an orbit line that breaks
Instead of bends.
Should I tell you
What you meant to me
With an e-card
for Epiphany?
You left me in April
Though we'd just met in December,
And there's some things I still remember:
You draw fish
Like a Christian
Without fins
(Not that Christians have fins)
(No, not that Christians have fins)
Eternity
Ended months ago
At 3:37 PM
Cause you'd said you'd love me forever;
I guess forever came to an end
Months ago
At 3:37 PM.
You're like a tesseract
In a backpack
If I could, I'd bring you back
In time to say,
"Tomorrow I'll offend you.
Take it like a man
Or just a Christian,
One who knows that the best fish
Come from Japan."
When you left me
You were far too nice,
Made it seem like
Such a sacrifice.
If true love means giving your life
Although you can't die -
If this sentence is a lie -
Tell me why.
(I, I, I,
I, I, I.)
Eternity
Ended years ago
At 3:37 PM
Cause you'd said you'd love me forever;
I guess forever came to an end
Years ago
At 3:37 PM.
...
The "e-card for Epiphany" part is based on a true story (see "epiphany.") "Years ago" is 2010-11.
3:37? Either 2010 or 2011 I was volunteering unpacking books in the library where my dad works and, bored, I wrote "Eternity ended yesterday at 3:37 PM" on a cardboard box. And he told me not to do that because he was going to use them again. Because if you write "Eternity ended yesterday at 3:37 PM" on a cardboard box, that cardboard box is now a paradox and is unfit for holding books.
